Now, IdrA is my favorite player of all time, and if the opportunity to interview him arises I want to conduct the best motherfucking goddamn interview possible with our great overlord KingdrA. So please, if anyone has any suggestions when it comes to questions and such quote this post and attach a question. I can't guarantee anything, but if I get the chance I want to be able to give the faithful IdrA-fans in here the best interview possible.
Feel free to also give me suggestions on my twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/Wndwrt) and please follow d-esports on twitter too (https://twitter.com/#!/D_eSports)!
Here's a question: Did IdrA read the HotS Developers Update? If so, what does he think about it?

There's Inside the Game this week right? In that case, they're probably going to go over that there. Don't post any more great questions openly in the thread, someone might steal them for the call part ;o

in my opinion do some research about his CJ days and brood war history and pull up some interesting questions from that perhaps seems rather unspoken of
i believe that he decided to go to korea at 16 pretty unprepared i wonder if any interview has asked him about his mentality going into that situation

I have actually been thinking about something regarding his BW-career, more in the way of if he ever regrets switching to SC2, seeing as he almost qualified for the OSL a month after he switched to SC2 full-time. I also want to hear more about his perspective on how a KeSPA run SC2-scene will look globally and in Korea.

his opinion on how the transition might hit and if he might be looking to practice with any friends / collegues he made on those teams as well?

Definitely.

I've just thought of something interesting. You know casters like to point out that, if Idra loses the first game of a series, he has a very high chance of losing the whole series. Well, I've always hated these kind of statistics as they show no comparisons and don't prove anything. But I've been wondering - what is Idra's win/loss ratio for 3 game Bo3s and what percentage of those wins have game 1 losses. I've also been wondering what the same statistics are for other players. I'm pretty sure they would be very similar to Idra's record.
I just dislike how casters (day 9 is a big culprit) use the Bo3 statistic to show that Idra tilts and plays worse after losing game 1 of a series. You can tell he is tilting if he 6 pools game 2, or goes into all in mode, but that rarely happens. I'm sure if you jumbled up a 3 game series with Idra and asked someone to put them in order, that person would not get it right in a statistically significantly percentage of the time.

Didn't IdrA lose the first game in both the Cruncher and Inori matches? Maybe his ability to come back after losing the first match is improving?

His mindset has steadily been improving since early 2011, so yeah, I'd say he has

In those BO3s, it's often said that when IdrA loses the first game, he will often win the second one and lose the last one. It would be interesting to look at statistics to see whether that's true or not in general.
As for IdrA nearly always losing BO3s when he loses the first game, regardless of who is playing, if you lose the first game, you are very likely to lose the series. Assuming two opponents that are 50-50 against each other, if player A wins the first map, he has 75% probability to win the series.

According to his twitter, IdrA will be streaming with commentary when he can make Xsplit work.
